Product Description
Acid-base is an area which lies within no one specialty and yet is important in renal and pulmonary conditions, for intensive care, and within medicine in general. This book is concise, yet provides comprehensive coverage of acid-base balance in a clinical context. It explains the fundamental processes, their nature and their significance, with an emphasis on practical aspects. The book is divided into three parts, the first providing an introduction to the topic, explaining the underlying principles and concepts of acid-base balance. The second section considers simple disturbances of acid-base balance, their diagnosis and treatment. The final part concerns mixed disturbances and discusses how acid-base data should be tackled. This section provides a simple and logical approach to the practical problems of the interpretation of acid-base data. The book is intended for postgraduates primarily and the keen undergraduate medical student, as well as clinical biochemists in training, and clinicians in general medicine, intensive care, chest disease and nephrology who require more information than is available in standard medical texts. ...

Product Description
This book is mainly for the self-responsible person who would like to live long and healthfully.Determining the pH of the body by measuring certain body fluids gives a person a miraculous tool for controlling and improving health.Acid-base balancing and control, when understood and applied, is more powerful to health maintenance and improvement than any of the widely advertised antioxidants, super antioxidants or other wonder supplements.Acids corrode cells and tissues much faster than any super nutrient could possibly restore them.Many natural health remedies are healing simply because they alkalize, remove acids or assist organs to balance acids within the body. The environment in which the cell lives is known as the biological terrain.PH is a major part of that internal terrain.By altering your internal terrain to an environment which is supportive of human cells, you can extend the life of your cells to the maximum. ...

Product Description
This companion to Brenner and Rector's The Kidney offers a concise, practical approach to acid-base and electrolyte disorders, emphasizing pathophysiology and its link to a logical diagnostic approach in treating these disorders. Unlike other traditional textbooks on the subject, Acid/Base and Electrolyte Disorders focuses less on physiological and pathophysiological concepts and more on providing specific recommendations for therapy and patient care - resulting in an excellent clinical resource that is also an ideal core curriculum or exam review. Many of the topics in this book are not covered in any other resource, including acid-base and electrolyte disorders in the critical care setting. In addition, recent advances in fast-developing areas such as genetic and molecular biology are discussed in detail. ... Read more

Product Description
The "Blackwell's Basics in Medicine" series deals with fluids and electrolyte balance. Each title addresses one particular topic. The first deals with salt and water, with a further title on potassium. This book deals with acid base. The series goes on to cover organ pathphysiology with titles on renal failure and heart failure using the Socratic method. The series follows a standard structure comprising brief questions (progressing from the simple to the more complex) followed by short answers. Case presentations teach the fundamentals of fluid and electrolyte balance, and illustrate the various topics presented. The approach is based on solid pathophysiological knowledge applied to basic medical principles, enabling the reader to interpret clinical data based on sound pathophysiological concepts, and thus provide better patient care. ...
